About the American Chuck Wagon Association

In 1996 at a chuck wagon competition in Amarillo, Texas, a small group of Old West enthusiasts and wagon masters talked about an association. The mission would be to preserve the heritage of the chuck wagon and its use in the short, but significant, era of the cattle drives. In 1997, in Bryson, Texas, by-laws and articles of operation were adopted and the American Chuck Wagon Association was off and running. Today there are members in 31 states, Canada, Germany and France. Members participate in cook off competitions, demonstrations, catering, charity events, school visits and many other activities to fulfill that original mission and even surpass the dreams of those organizers.
The Association has since qualified for and received a 501.c.3 status. This allows you to make tax-free Memorials, Honorariums and Donations. If you would like to make a donation, you may send a check to:
ACWA, P.O. Box 626, Belton, TX 76513.
For Memorials and Honorariums, please include the person remembered/honored, address or addresses where cards are to be sent.
Thank you for visiting our site and we hope you will visit us at one or more of our chuck wagon events.
